Two officers involved in a fatal Port Arthur shooting say they Tased the victim before firing, but the shock had no effect on her.

The officers were at the house in the 3800 block of 29th Street after receiving a call about a domestic disturbance, the department said Friday morning during a news conference. A woman at the home raised a knife towards the officers, one of which proceeded to Taser her with no effect. The second officer fired one shot, which fatally wounded the woman.

The department said both officers have been placed on administrative leave following an investigation by the Port Arthur police Criminal Investigation Division, Internal Affairs and the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office.

The department said they would identify the victim and officers at a later time. The family of the victim has identified her to The Enterprise as Rosa Flores.
